Sleep Number Unveils the x12, a Bed That Tracks Your Every Snooze
7th January 2014
The rise of wearable fitness trackers like Fitbit and Basis are training us to pay more attention to our sleeping habits by tracking how often we wake up during the night and how many hours of rest we really get. Now Select Comfort, makers of the popular Sleep Number line of beds, is building its tracker directly into the bed. The x12, which the company is showing off at CES for the first time, automatically measures your breathing rate, movement, and average heart rate. “All you have to do is sleep,” the company says.
Data from your sleep is displayed in companion apps for smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. The technology, which the company is calling Sleep IQ, scores your rest and offers you suggestions for how to improve it. The company says SleepIQ can be turned off and that your data remains private.
